IUCN Status: Near Threatened
EPBC Threat Rating: Very high
IUCN Claim: “Predation by foxes and dogs’”
A fox consumed part of a quoll, possibly scavenged (Körtner et al. 2003).
Körtner et al. (2003) found no effect of poison-baiting on quoll abundance and no effect on fox abundance in 3 of 4 sites or years.
There are no studies linking foxes to tiger quoll populations.
